Park Hyatt Vienna is My Favorite Park Hyatt Property to Date

Over the summer, I booked a flight to Paris to experience Austrian Airline’s Business Class product and built in an overnight layover in Vienna. I love the Park Hyatt brand, and I’ve always heard spectacular things about the Vienna property, so I was really excited to spend a night there. The Park Hyatt Vienna is a newer property – only shy of 3 years old – and housed is in a historical building.Cash + Points is a Great Value

The Park Hyatt Vienna Category 6 Hyatt property, meaning that a free night redemption costs 25,000 points per night. However, if there’s Points + Cash availability, the hotel can be booked for just 12,500 Gold Passport points plus $150 per night, which is a great value. At the time of my stay, my suite was selling for over 900 Euro! I value my Hyatt points at 2 cents per point, so booking with cash and points made sense. Plus, you’re able to earn stay credits and points on C+P bookings. At the time of my stay, my suite was selling for over 900 Euro!

Getting Here

For this trip, I decided to book a car transfer from the airport to the hotel because the price was reasonable, and I needed a seamless experience knowing that I had less than 24 hours in a new city. I also had an insanely early flight the next morning, and I wanted to be sure that there was a car immediately waiting for me at the crack of dawn to take be back to VIE.

I booked my transfer with an amazing company called LimoWien. Rates start at 45 Euro each way, which is about the same as a taxi (minus the possibility of being ripped off, which is always a huge fear of me). Uber is also available in Vienna, but I read that surge pricing goes into effect quite frequently near the airport, and I didn’t want to fondle around with the app during a busy arrival time.My driver was waiting for me and was easy to locate as soon as I exited the terminal. I was picked up in a Mercedes, and the ride was about 35 minutes to the hotel. The next morning, my car was waiting for me right on time around 5 am – couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The Location is Ideal

The Park Hyatt Vienna is situated in such a great location in Vienna’s new Goldenes Quartier, overlooking Am Hof square and steps away from Vienna’s exclusive shopping district (Chanel, Valentino, Prada, etc.). I was able to explore the city entirely by foot during the day and night and always felt safe, even as a solo female traveler.

The Suites Are Incredible

I booked a standard room, but to my surprise I was upgraded to a Park Suite as Hyatt Diamond. The room was phenomenal to say the least! There was a huge entry foyer with a gigantic walk-in closet to the left and a massive marble bathroom to the right.The long hallway led into the living room, which was separated by doors from the bedroom. The full-sized living room had a large couch, 2 sitting chairs and a coffee table. There was a flat-screen TV hidden behind a mirror, which I thought was pretty neat!Now let’s talk about the bathroom! The bathroom was tremendous and beautiful! There were mirrors and marble everywhere, 2 sinks and full vanity areas, a large shower (amazing shower pressure), and a separate soaking tub in the middle.The amenities in the suite were large Blaise Mautin toiletries, which I really loved.If you’re a Hyatt Diamond member, you can choose between 1,000 points and a food & beverage amenity. While I almost always go with the 1,000 point amenity, I find it’s usually worth going for the food & beverage amenity at Park Hyatt. I took my chance with the food & beverage amenity and I was a bit underwhelmed considering that it was just a bowl of fruit (no wine, pretty pastries, etc.).Diamond Breakfast is Generous & Flexible

Much like the Park Hyatt Milan, the Diamond breakfast benefit at the Park Hyatt Vienna is very generous and flexible. Since I had such an early flight the next morning, I loved that I was able to preorder my breakfast the night before and enjoy it in my room before the restaurant opened (although the main restaurant looked incredible and I would love to have breakfast in there next time). Even though I was alone, I enjoyed “breakfast for 2” because it was included ;).It’s My Favorite Park Hyatt To Date

I’ve stayed at a lot of Park Hyatt properties including the locations in Paris, Milan, Zurich, Seoul, Maldives, Tokyo, etc., but the Park Hyatt Vienna is my favorite to date. I truly enjoyed everything about the property – the room, the service, and the overall experience. The fact that it’s an incredible value with points and cash makes it attainable for all to experience such top-tier luxury at a reasonable price. I am already looking for an excuse to go back!

Have you had a chance to stay at the Park Hyatt Vienna yet? If so, how was your experience?

my parents stayed this summer for 3 nights and said it was their favorite city hotel stay, ever. it was, on those dates, the most expensive hotel in the city to book (which felt a little silly to me, as Vienna has some great hotels at reasonable prices). but they said the quality of materials in the room was mind-blowing, and that the location was more enjoyable than it would’ve been at most of the other lux-brand hotels on the Ringstrasse. so, it seems like at least a clear winner over those. but i’d still make a strong case for certain less lux hotels given how much cheaper they are (the cash you spent alone could almost book the various SPG LC hotels on certain dates, which are great). just depends what you’re seeking.

Great review! I stayed there for a few nights a couple months ago and thought the property was flawless. It was only my second Park Hyatt to date (Park Hyatt Zanzibar was my other) but it has also been my favorite to date.

My daughter and I stayed there in May and we were wowed it was gorgeous. Stayed in a suite. And breakfast in the beautiful ballroom like room downstairs was awesome. Loved it and by far my favorite Hyatt also. (While the service was outstanding in Vienaa found the breakfast service at Hyatt Paris Vendome to be the best. They not only recognized us every day they remembered what we ate.) Vienna is a very walkable city and so beautiful. Enjoyed our trip from London, Churchill Hyatt, to Prague, Sheraton, and then to Vienna Park Hyatt. What a trip.

Nice review and good choice. I just returned from Europe and paid about $125 for the Hilton Vienna. The Hotel was ok and a good price but the Hyatt i much nicer.
I wouldn’t be afraid of the taxis in Vienna. The cab ride from the airport to downtown is about 30 to 35 euro. Most are Mercedes or BMW large sedans.
